Halfpenny 1862 Die Letter B to the left of the lighthouse, Freeman 288, dies 7+E, LCW on rock. EF/NEF with some edge nicks and light surface residue. By far the finest example we have offered of this extremely rare type, rated R18 by Freeman. In our experience the rarest of the three main die letter types. Online research shows NGC have only graded 2 examples, the highest graded 45, PCGS have not graded a single example, and LCGS have only graded 2 examples, the highest being Fine 25, so this potentially the finest remaining example
Estimate: 1500-2000 GBP
